Parsing error while sending notification mails when display name contains square brackets

[cypr0]

Describe the bug If the display name contains a string with square brackets, mails cannot be sent to the mail address associated with the account.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open the admin interface.
2. Navigate to the "Directory" menu, then to "Users," and modify the display name of any user so that it includes a string enclosed in square brackets. The selected user should be your current admin user, have admin rights or at least the permission to send test emails.
3. Go to "Events," then to "Notifications Transports," and click on the "Test action" for the "default.email-transport."
4. A error message should appear indicating that the email delivery failed.

Expected behavior The test email was sent successfully.
